Exactly. Local connection. Why the fuck does it need access to some server somewhere? I am sorry… but if they have updates for their shit available they need different ways of making it available.
Also why the fuck does the company need audio recordings from your home? That is literally spy shit. And why does it need the layout? Even if they were doing it purely to improve their products and make them be able to work around confusing layouts and obstacles then that shit needs your full knowledge and consent… and you can withdraw consent at any time for any reason.

I am too tired to rant further.
100% agree.
Unless they artifically bloat their patch/update file sizes, I’d imagine sending it through your phone to the device over bluetooth would work fine.
I’d even, personally, prefer they use a wifi link directly between my phone and the device while it updates before I give it free access to my lan.
